Jefferson's Rectangular Tinted Spectacles

This historically accurate tinted spectacle is based on pairs displayed in the Monticello Visitor Center and believed to have been Jefferson’s. Tinted glasses first appeared around 1810, and was used “to improve the vision out of doors.” Both styles have metal frames with folding arms, shatterproof polycarbonate lenses with full UVA and UVB protection, and fit most wearers. 1”h x 5 ½”w x 6 ½”l.
